5.Rolling Bridge (UK): The Bridge that Curls Up on Itself
Designed by Heatherwick Studio, the award-winning Rolling Bridge is
located Paddington Basin, London. Rather than a conventional
opening
bridge mechanism, consisting of a single rigid element that lifts
to
let boats pass, the Rolling Bridge gets out of the way by curling
up
until its two ends touch. While in its horizontal position, the bridge
is a normal, inconspicuous steel and timber footbridge; fully open,
it
forms a circle on one bank of the water that bears little resemblance
to its former self.
Twelve metres long, the bridge is made in eight steel and timber
sections, and is made to curl by hydraulic rams set into the handrail
between each section.

8.Tower Bridge (UK): Most Famous and Beautiful Victorian Bridge
Completed in 1894 and designed by Horace Jones and Wolfe Barry,
Tower
Bridge (so named after the two, striking, 141-ft high towers and
the
Tower of London close to it) is one of the most famous landmarks
in
London and one of the most beautiful in the world. The 800-ft long
bridge has a 28-ft clearance when closed but raises in the centre to
a
maximum clearance of 140-ft that allows ships to pass down the
Thames.
Back in the days when goods were moved by sea instead
of air the bridge
was raised around 50 times daily. Tower Bridge
took 432 workers 8 years
to build. During that time they sank
70,000 tonnes of concrete into 2
huge piers, lowered 2 counterbalanced
bascules into place each weighing
1,000 tonnes and then clad the whole
bridge in Portland stone and
Cornish granite to disguise the 11,000 tonnes
of steel beneath.
